got some half inch aluminum tubing here, will this connector hook it up straight to a 1/4 npt male thread without any issues

That brass compression fitting connects 0.50 inch OD aluminum tubing directly to a 1/4-18 male NPT thread, and it's made for a straight run with materials like that.
Question by: Kirk T on Apr 4, 2025, 1:35 PM
Will this fitting work with 1/2" OD aluminum tubing, or is it only for plastic and copper?
Answer by: Customer Support on Apr 6, 2025, 8:04 AM
It's made to work with plastic, copper, and aluminum tubing, as long as you're using that half-inch outer diameter.
